personally, i am not a lover of routes with heavy asia and don't love middle east. just a personal opinion. After a terrible visit in S24, i have no hope for malaysia. But i do like ur route. Everything i just said is my opinion, nothing do do with me hating ur route!

Love the Dublin-Boston!!!!!!!!!!! Visit the Celtics arena, st. paddy's day tasks... never thought of that but i LOVE IT!

I see what you mean about too much Asia. I've revised the route a bit - thoughts?

that is better! But maybe, u can replace portugal with another burkina faso leg??? that's what i'd do. answer my pm's [/quote]

For some reason my pms are being super slow and unresponsive so I'm just gonna reply to u here. I thought the scenery in Antigua and Barbuda would be wonderful for a pirate task. It is also one of Phils favorite places to visit, although that doesn't have much to do with the production of the leg. As far as Europe goes, maybe a major Eastern European city such as Prague/Budapest, followed by lesser known Eastern European cities/towns (in new countries)

okay, thanks! I was thinking Bahamas, Cuba or maybe Dominican Rep. But maybe A&B would be good too... such hard decisions! I have decided to send the first europe leg to rovaniemi!

Here's another one I made. Honestly probably not my best route, and only one new country, but I was trying to be more realistic because I know the race won't go to a bajillion new countries, so I also threw in some undervisited countries/locales. Let me know what you guys think! Also if you have any suggestions for tasks, go for it!

Leg 3: Hobart, Australia-Melbourne, Australia (Pit Stop: Federation Square)Teams drive themselves to Devonport and then travel on the Sprit of Tasmania, to Port MelbourneCricket/AFL detour at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (depends on when this films. The AFL Grand Final is played on 30 September, Grand Final Parade the day before and then the Sheffield Shield in mid to late October!)Graffiti Roadblock at Hosier LaneIf they film in Melbourne, Grand Final Week (September 25-30), they need to be VERY careful, as many people will be out and about (including me), so spoilers! Also, it would be just crazy to film on the 29th, as 100,000 people are out and about for the GF parade! (episcally at the MCG)

Also I think instead of Melbourne they should visit Queensland which hasn't been seen since S4. Brisbane, Gold Coast, Fraser Island, Whitsundays, Cairns, Palm Cove, Port Douglas & Barrier Reef are all possible locations.

Imagine they fly to Brisbane then get charter flights to Fraser Island.

The next leg they travel back to Brisbane where they visit the Koala Sanctuary, Detour on Southbank before having a surfing roadblock in nearby Gold Coast.

They could do 2 legs in the Cairns, Port Douglas, Kuranda, Barrier Reef vicinity.

Or they could do Brisbane/Gold Coast & The Whitsundays.

I think these would play host to amazing legs. Or we could have either the Whitsundays, Fraser Island or Cairns combined with Melbourne.

Yes the Gold Coast is a VERY good idea! Maybe Tasmania could be replaced with it??? I'm not sure about 2 legs in one state. I'm not too sure if the viewers would like it! Plus, we saw Cairns TAR4!

@nrh2110 I agree with your own assessment of your route; it's not the flashiest, but it definitely is realistic and interesting in of itself. And I quite like it, although that could just be my personal bias of enjoying realistic routes more than fantastic impossibilities. I could actually see WRP using this route, although Turkey is a bit of a question mark currently.

Switchback to TAR 14 memory challenge (yes I know that was Maui, but still)

Finish Line: Kailua Pier

Visits every continent. Almost 30,000 miles. Two new countries, and new places in Italy and Brazil, two overvisited countries. I like this. Also I really want to make up for the boring visit to KK in TAR4 and the visit in TAR24 (nothing really bad about the visit, except the roadblocks, but it's TAR24 and it's universally hated here so...) because Kota Kinabalu/Sabah is quite possibly the most beautiful place I've ever been to. Let me know your thoughts again!
